In another roster move, the Yankees recalled right-hander Matt Daley from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated Jim Miller for assignment after he surrendered five runs in Thursday night’s 9-3 loss in Cleveland.

Francis, 33, has a career mark of 70-80 with a 4.95 ERA, having spent the bulk of his career with the Colorado Rockies. He had a 5.89 ERA in 10 appearances (one start) for the A’s, who owned a pitching surplus since acquiring Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel from the Cubs.
